The species at the heart of the contentious Studland Bay row has been discovered higher up the River Thames than ever before - raising the possibility of a Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) in the heart of London.

This is a very interesting and encouraging story! I would like to see a MCZ in the Thames to protect these amazing animals and others too. In a world where so many species are endangered and on the brink of extinction, this is certainly encouraging news. Improvements in water quality and also habitat have also encouraged these species to take up residence in the Thames and increase populations. This is something that all Nations including our own need to do to increase species numbers and help mitigate the massive number of species which are declining due to environmental pollution and degradation.
